FunPlus Phoenix maintains the title chance at the Valorant Masters in Copenhagen. In the lower bracket semifinals, the team defeated the professionals of Fnatic with a score of 2:1. Next, OpTic Gaming is waiting.
The duel of the European teams was hard fought from the very beginning. The first Map split was decided only in the second extension in favor of Fnatic with a score of 15:13 – and this was after the professionals of the British e-sports organization were able to fend off three rounds against themselves at the end of the regular playing time.
The comeback of FunPlus Phoenix followed in front of the fans at the Forum Copenhagen. The team first prevailed on the second map Bind with a score of 13:7. The decision was therefore made on the third map Fracture. Here, too, FPX was able to control the game from the very beginning and in the end won significantly with a score of 13:5.
This means that FunPlus Phoenix is only one victory away from the final. Before that, however, the European team has to get past the US team OpTic Gaming. The winner of the last Masters in April in Reykjavik lost in the final of the Upper Bracket with a score of 1:2 against Paper Rex. The Indonesian organization is thus the first final team and is the first Asian team in the final of a Valorant Masters tournament.
